So, I'm curious.

Have you ever written portable code?

What is your definition of "portable"?

Have you ever used the auto* tools?

What platforms do the auto* tools not understand? Do these exotic platforms come with their own build system?

Have you ever written a non-trivial software package that has optional components and multiple external dependencies that can be installed in arbitrary locations on the system?

Again, just curious.
